sewage flow rate for 7000 population military dorm complex
sewage flow rate for 7000 population military dorm complex
(OP)
Can anyone tell me where to find sewage flow rates for a 12 dormitory military complex with 7000 population? Peak flow, average, etc. I assume peak would be when everyone rises at the same time and flushes and showers. I also assume this population is way beyond modeling with fixture units. Any modeling suggestions without taking out a second mortgage to buy SewerCad?

The Dept. of the Army, US Corps of Engineers Design Guidelines for WasteWater Treatment should have these standards.
As a rule of thumb, I used the following figures in the design and has not received any complains so far:
1. For Middle East Location:
250 Liters (66 US Gallons) per person per day should be sufficient. Peak flow taken as 3 times the average flow for up to 3 hrs.
2. For US and Europe Location:
100 US Gallons/Person/Day . Peak flow taken at 3 times the average flow for up to 3 hrs.
Good Luck!!
